I miss him
>>288720320this is the moment that mindbroke the staff
>>288720320That was the moment where I realized that Ash would've never become Champion
>>288720320I would do the same
Ash had no chance against this. He was so strong that he never came back.
>>288720320>>288720380>>288720440>>288721736The matchup.
>>288721784>torkoal instead of charizard>gabite
>>288721784>His other Pokemon>Latias>Mewtwo>Ho-Oh>Arceus.
>>288722572>>288721975The matchup before Tobias.
>>288721784>No Snorlax>No CharizardI'm not saying he could've won, be he could've definitely seen Tobias 3rd or 4th Pokemon with a better team>>288722588Pokemon anime peaked right here
>>288722683What went right with their rivalry?
>>288720320>actual pokemon master capturing pokemon making people seethegood times
>>288720320The Japanese voice of Tobias.
>>288720320the goat
>>288722731Wasn't Paul basically the average tourney/competitivefag?
>>288720320Tobias was basically a Gameshark/Action Replay user in the anime, but Ash losing to him isn't as retarded as him losing to that one noob in BW who didn't even bring 6 fucking pokemons.
>>288720320Dark rai is the edgy pokemon I missed out on in my youth.
>>288720320>>288721784>>288727367Tobias is like if someone's edgy OC that mops the floor with Ash suddenly became a real character. If not for the excuse to make Ash lose again I wouldn't be surprised if it were just some guys in the studio fucking around and self inserting>>288721975instant joy has been sparked>>288727679Gen IV was the peak of the franchise, kind of edgy designs but really consistent
>>288720380Was tobias mentioned in those behind the scenes leaks?
>>288727932>>288727367
>>288720320Literally who?
How did Cynthia win against him (not that I would ever doubt my Queen)
Alola is still the best league by the way
>>288727983what a dogshit ass team, it's like what you have after 2 badges
>>288720320To think all this shit happened because just ONE executive thought the anime would just end when Ash won a league, even though this is the season where the Champion League was introduced so they could always make him lose against Cynthia or something like that.
>>288720320Did somebody get fired over this?
>>288727983To think Cameron threw 2 of his pokemon by switching them to their perfect counters, so he pretty much only used 3 Pokemon in that battle, and still defeated Ash.
>>288729162Considering what happened to the series post-Kalos, I prefer when he didn't win.
>>288727932I played through legends arceus a few years back. First pokemon game I've played in 20 years. Dark Rai was a fun little discovery.
>>288729202>>288729162This pic related is turning a decade old this August.
>>288729277you just made me remember that I stopped watching pokemon sporadically somewhere around the time best wishes was rolling and a few years later they came up with that greninja fusion thing which was fucking embarrassingguess i jumped ship at the right time, what a nightmare
>>288729253did you not play hgss or bw2? these are really fun
>>288721784>unevolved gabite>fucking single typed swellowtobias cheated but what the FUCK kind of team is that, ash
>>288729402Alola was a pretty nice SOL season, many people hated it back when it aired because it wasn't a shounen with serious battles like XY.
>>288721784literally this retarded image
>>288729402>greninja fusion thing which was fucking embarrassingIt was actually awesome
>>288729623>losesLmao
How do you respond without sounding mad?
>>288722588The peak of Pokemon>>288721784Immediately followed up with the worst storytelling in history
>>288721736Irony is World Champ Ash probably sweeps this team
>>288729277>21K dislikesDeserved. The Pokemon anime never had that tight a narrative to justify Ash losing every league. So every loss at the final stretch felt like a waste of time and a slap in the face. You're making your audience look like idiots for investing time into watching your show. And yes, they're pissing off the children when they do this too.
So, how would you feel if he came back, and act as Lyko's Final Rival
>>288721784I remember the excuse too>If Ash wins the League, his journey would be overNo it wouldn't? There's no good reason for his character to believe he was any kind of Pokemon master for winning just 1 trophy
